I use Vue 9 to Render meshes that I've made in a third party app.

Vue does not have any basic masking tools to allow accurate painting of a material on a specific part of an imported 3d mesh. It seems that any material must coat the whole mesh. I can't just paint part of it one color and part another by using a mask and then filling that masked area with a material or color like in photoshop.

I want to paint or apply more than one material to an imported mesh that is just a single item.

Is there any software that can define regions on a single mesh so that when I import the item into Vue, Vue would treat it like a model made of parts allowing each part(region)to to be selected or deselected and thus have a different mat applied in Vue?

Right now I have to separately make each mesh that I want to have a different material on and group all those into one model then import into vue then ungroup then paint each part. Then regroup to a single looking thing with many mats applied.

Hope this question makes sense.

Any help would be appreciated.
